He worked under a close relationship with Finley Holiday Film Corp, the largest producer of Retail Videos on National Parks and Tourist areas. His videos are sold in most of our National Parks. A (BA) graduate of Brooks Institute of Photography, Santa Barbara, California, he worked in large format stills and Betacam SP Video. His stills are seen on hundreds of postcards across the country as well as calendars, posters, magazines and books. His video work is seen in a wide range of videos, from National Parks to Mount Vernon and Graceland. His films have been seen on PBS, Discovery Channel and National Geographic films.
After graduation from Brooks Institute, Russ spent 13 years full time on the road – 365 days, photographing our National Parks. He spent another 10 years living just outside Yellowstone National Park in Island Park, Idaho spending five to six months on the road each year.
